Tell My Sons: A Father's Last Letters
by Mark Weber Robin Robin WilliamsAt the pinnacle of a soaring career in the U. S. Army, Lt. Col. Mark M. Weber was tapped to serve in a high-profile job within the Afghan Parliament as a military advisor. Weeks later, a routine physical revealed stage IV intestinal cancer in the thirty-eight-year-old father of three. Over the next two years he would fight a desperate battle he wasn't trained for, with his wife and boys as his reluctant but willing fighting force. When Weber realized that he was not going to survive this final tour of combat, he began to write a letter to his boys, so that as they grew up without him, they would know what his life-and-death story had taught him--about courage and fear, challenge and comfort, words and actions, pride and humility, seriousness and humor, and viewing life as a never-ending search for new ideas and inspiration. This book is that letter. And it's not just for his sons. It's for everyone who can use the best advice a dying hero has to offer. Weber's stories illustrate that in the end you become what you are through the causes to which you attach yourself--and that you've made your own along the way. Through his example, he teaches how to live an ordinary life in an extraordinary way.
Tell to Win: Connect, Persuade, and Triumph with the Hidden Power of Story
by Peter GuberToday everyone -- whether they know it or not -- is in the emotional transportation business. More and more, success is won by creating compelling stories that have the power to move partners, shareholders, customers, and employees to action. Simply put, if you can't tell it, you can't sell it. And this book tells you how to do both. Historically, stories have always been igniters of action, moving people to do things. But only recently has it become clear that purposeful stories -- those created with a specific mission in mind -- are absolutely essential in persuading others to support a vision, dream or cause. Peter Guber, whose executive and entrepreneurial accomplishments have made him a success in multiple industries, has long relied on purposeful story telling to motivate, win over, shape, engage and sell. Indeed, what began as knack for telling stories as an entertainment industry executive has, through years of perspiration and inspiration, evolved into a set of principles that anyone can use to achieve their goals. In Tell to Win, Guber shows how to move beyond soulless Power Point slides, facts, and figures to create purposeful stories that can serve as powerful calls to action. Among his techniques: *Capture your audience's attention first, fast and foremost *Motivate your listeners by demonstrating authenticity *Build your tell around what's in it for them *Change passive listeners into active participants *Use state-of-the-heart technology online and offline to make sure audience commitment remains strong. To validate the power of telling purposeful stories, Guber includes in this book a remarkably diverse number of voices -- master tellers with whom he's shared experiences. They include YouTube founder Chad Hurley, NBA champion Pat Riley, clothing designer Normal Kamali, Mission to Mars scientist Gentry Lee, Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank, former South African president Nelson Mandela, magician David Copperfield, film director Steven Spielberg, novelist Nora Roberts, rock legend Gene Simmons, and physician and author Deepak Chopra. After listening to this extraordinary mix of voices, you'll know how to craft, deliver -- and own -- a story that is truly compelling, one capable of turning others into viral advocates for your goal.

The Temple of God
by Annalee Skarin“Death is the back door into the other world. It is not the door of honor and glory. Death is the torturous, round-about way of painful correction. It is the way for those who are not given a great welcome. It is the path of many delays, in which the erroneous ideas accumulated in life may be removed. It is the painful way of correcting the false beliefs and the false standards gathered along the road of life. It is the way of removing the seals that have been placed upon the mind through bigotry, evil, fleshly lusts, an inflated ego or an inferiority complex. Death is the way of nurturing immature, weak souls. It is the way of correction.“There is, however, a front door which is the way of utter glory and honor. This is the door Christ came to reveal and none would believe. This door is opened to all who overcome. It is opened by the very power of their overcoming.“This book is written to reveal, to those who are ready, the beauty and magnificence of that front door. It is a book written out of the fires of eternity. It is your book. It is the map to your own soul, the diagram of you, temple of God. It will reveal the secret powers that will show you how to overcome the thieves and throw out the money-changers. It is the revelation of that wonderful person you were meant to be, with all your unspeakable powers released for growth and eternal happiness and supreme honor, now—and forever more.”—Annalee Skarin
Temple of the Stars: The Astrological Decans
by Martin GoldsmithDiscover the astrological meaning of the ancient Egyptian decans, their correspondence to gods and the afterlife, and how each individual’s decan placement defines their experiences. Astrologers divide each of the 12 zodiac signs into three parts, called decans. The ancient Egyptians had an independent system of decans that is now all but forgotten. This form of astrology was not oriented toward the affairs of the living but was aimed at helping the soul achieve enlightenment after death. Each of the decans was associated with a powerful Egyptian god who would protect the soul as it traveled through their particular area of the heavens. Temple of the Stars provides in-depth explanations for each decan, including its symbol, associated god, and well-known figures born under the same placement, and it explores how that decan defines the realities and spiritual problems of the modern individual. Through a combination of empirical and intuitive methods, this book arrives at penetrating new interpretations both of the decans and the astrological signs.
Temptation

Ten Breaths to Happiness
by Thich Nhat Hanh Jason Deantonis Glen SchneiderSimple practices to help us cultivate happiness and fulfillment in the course of our daily lives.Happiness is far more than a positive feeling that comes and goes, happiness is wired into the physiology of our brains. It is a skill we can all develop through cultivating mindfulness and concentration. In Ten Breaths to Happiness Schneider presents a series of simple practices and guided meditations that allow you to literally rewire your neural pathways to experience deeper and more lasting fulfillment and peace.Studies in neuroscience show that it takes about thirty seconds to build a new neural-pathway. Schneider takes these findings and combines them with mindfulness practices based on the teachings of Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh. For example, he encourages us to take ten conscious breaths whenever we encounter something beautiful or have a meaningful experience. Consistently exercising this simple practice creates an opportunity for the brain to move from its default reaction of protection to one of appreciation and spaciousness.In ten short chapters, Schneider discusses the nature of happiness and its role in our evolution. He shows how our brains can make us happy or create suffering, and he introduces simple, proven techniques that will shape our brains over
The Ten Commandments
by David HazonyACROSS THE WESTERN WORLD, the Ten Commandments have become a source of both inspiration and controversy, whether in Supreme Court rulings, in film and literature, or as a religious icon gracing houses of worship of every Christian and Jewish denomination. But what do the commandments really stand for? According to polls, less than half of all Americans can even name more than four of them. Fewer still can name all ten, or have a clear idea of the ideals they were meant to promote. For most of us, agnostics and faithful alike, they have been relegated to the level of a symbol, and the teachings they contain are all but forgotten. In Western life today, the Ten Commandments are everywhere-- except where we need them most. In The Ten Commandments, David Hazony offers a powerful new look at our most venerable moral text. Combining a fresh reading of the Old Testament's most riveting stories and ancient rabbinic legends with a fearless exploration of what ails society today, Hazony shows that the Ten Commandments are not just a set of obscure laws but encapsulate a deeply valuable approach to life--one that is as relevant now as it was when they first appeared more than two millennia ago. The Ten Commandments begins with a daring claim: Although they have become a universally recognizable symbol of biblically based religion, they are not, strictly speaking, a religious text. Rather than making a statement about faith or mystical realms inaccessible to reason, they contain a coherent prescription for how to make a better world. At their core stands what Hazony calls the "spirit of redemption," which he describes as one of the two basic spiritual components of Western civilization. While the Greeks gave us the "spirit of reason," teaching that we should be free to explore and express our views, the spirit of redemption teaches that every individual can, and should, act to improve the world. This spirit reached us from ancient Israel, in the form of the Hebrew Bible, and has stood at the heart of the most important social movements in our history. Going through the commandments one by one, Hazony shows how each represents a poignant declaration about honesty, the self, life, love, freedom, community, and inner peace. Each commandment, we discover, adds another piece to the puzzle of how the redemptive spirit may enter our lives and help us become more caring, world-changing individuals. Part memoir, part scholarship, part manifesto for a vital approach to life, The Ten Commandments tackles some of the most painful human questions that stand at the heart of who we are as modern, thinking people--and offers answers that are sure to start a new discussion about the meaning of one of our most enduring, yet least understood, traditions.
